        What is the Story
            About:
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is about a girl name Goldie who went into
   the Three bears (Momma, Papa and Baby) home, sat in their chairs, ate
   their porridge, and slept in their beds.

She wanted to sit down so she choose which chair she wanted to sit in: Papa
   bear’s chair was too big, mama bear’s chair was big, baby bear’s chair
   was just right.

She was Hungry so she tasted the three porridges: Papa bear’s porridge
   was too hot, mama bear’s was too cold, Baby bear’s was just right.

She wanted to Sleep so she chose which bed she wanted to sleep in: Papa
   bear’s bed was too big, mama bear’s chair was ok, but Baby bear’s bed
   was just right.

When The Three Bears came home they found that their home was not in
  order and when they went into baby bear’s room, they saw a strange
        person in Baby Bear’s bed and there was Goldie.

   When She woke up and saw the three bears she ran out of the house.

         and that was the end!
